Hello all crunch bangers, question about python2.6.6

http://crunchbang.org –
Hello you all I found out about this distro moving from Ubuntu to more lightweight and developer orientated distro's.I've got Xubuntu installed atm and am trying out the !# live cd.I was wondering though, if i go with #! will i have to create an unstable system to use Python 2.7 for programming instead of the 2.6.6. ?anybody out there that had to fix this (I found a post about Idle, but I won't be using it because I need the python2.7 for learn Python the hard way, and Zed explicitly doesn't want his pupils using that, I'll use gedit instead )cheers!

I am trying to install GDB7.8 with Python support. From the source folder, I am running ./configure --with-python
When I did tab-complete from --with- I did not see Python in the list.
But when I ran configure with that flag, it did not baulk.

Recently I installed Python 2.7 on Centos machine which had default Python2.6, which changed default to python2.7 (/usr/local/bin/python). Now things started breaking, so I need to switch back default to python2.6 (/usr/bin/python) for all users, keeping python2.6 and python2.7 installed on system. How do I do this ?
